Given a line with the following properties:

• Point: (4,3)

,

• Slope: -4/3

Using the slope formula:


\begin{gathered} \text{Slope},m=\frac{Change\text{ in y-axis}}{Change\text{ in x-axis}} \\ (-4)/(3)=(y-3)/(x-4) \end{gathered}

Equating the numerators and denominators respectively:


\begin{gathered} -4=y-3\implies y=-4+3=-1 \\ 3=x-4\implies x=3+4=7 \\ \implies(x,y)=(7,-1) \end{gathered}

Plot the two points (4,3) and (7,-1) to get your line as shown below:
